 Tell me now what  have you done
 To justify your life  my son
 Did you help your  brothers,  when they were down
 And when the bullets flew,  did you stick around
 I had no words, I  never spoke
 If I had said one  thing, you wouldn't know
 I did no harm, I  hurt  no one
 Why you ask me now, my chance  has gone
Please don't  send me  away
I  want to  come in
If  you give  me today
I will  try again
 Child I gave you  all the breaks
 But all you did was  take and take
 You say you did no harm,  but you did no good
 And never sought redemption,  I think you should
 I realize my selfish  love
 Has always got me  through, by just enough
 I never thought this  day would come
 When the demons of my  soul would be undone
Please don't  send me  away
I  want to  come in
If  you give  me today
I will  try again
 repeat 4x
 Look up and see  the angels
 The gates have opened  up for you
 I hope your mind  is peaceful
 And love is everything  you do
